This is a problem with the Linux SCSI driver structure.

Cdrecord uses what the standard addressing scheme with SCSI is.
A SCSI Bus is an entity where the SCSI ANSI T10 adressing scheme is valid.
T10 defines Target & Lun, the bus is the only layer above.
If you read the Linux SCSI sources it is easy to find that Linux is wrong.
Linux calls a SCSI adapterCARD a Bus which has nothing to do with a SCSI bus.
